本文通过对2007年和2012年BBC广播、电视和在线新闻节目来源模式的定量内容分析，重新思考了新闻业中的平衡和公正概念。公正性是英国广播公司和其他效仿它的广播公司公共服务广播原则的基石。然而，文章建议，就BBC而言，它主要是通过并列两个主要政党--保守党和工党的立场来实施的。在此基础上，本文提出了“公平作为平衡的范式”的思想。尽管新闻机构承诺代表更广泛的意见，但这种模式仍然占上风。公正即平衡的模式意味着，在最具争议性和最重要的问题上，只听取了很小范围的观点和声音。此外，它导致报道侧重于政党-政治冲突，损害了提供亟需背景的新闻业。
This article reconsiders the concepts of balance and impartiality in journalism, in the context of a quantitative content analysis of sourcing patterns in BBC news programming on radio, television and online in 2007 and 2012. Impartiality is the cornerstone of principles of public service broadcasting at the BBC and other broadcasters modelled on it. However, the article suggests that in the case of the BBC, it is principally put into practice through juxtaposing the positions of the two main political parties – Conservative and Labour. On this basis, the article develops the idea of the ‘paradigm of impartiality-as-balance.’ This paradigm prevails despite the news organisation’s commitment to representing a broader range of opinion. The paradigm of impartiality-as-balance means that only a narrow range of views and voices are heard on the most contentious and important issues. Further, it results in reporting that focuses on party-political conflict, to the detriment of a journalism which provides much-needed context.
